Due to the originality and innovativeness of its design solutions, OmniAGV was chosen among the products
ADI Design Index 2022
, or the collection of the best Italian Design, annually selected by the ADI Permanent Design Observatory.

As a result of this selection, an example of the vehicle took part in a traveling exhibition, held in Milan, at the ADI Design Museum, and in Rome, at the Istituto dell’Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani, a venue where it was awarded the ADI Design Index 2022 Innovation Prize.

At the A&T Automation & Testing exhibition, the event dedicated to innovation, technology, reliability and 4.0 skills, OmniAGV took first place for the Innovation 4.0 Award, identifying itself as the “most innovative project of the year.”

In R&D, Code Architects Automation, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Bari, was the winner of the research call for proposals SHARE, convened by the Apulia Region, with the project “Optimal navigation for self-driving vehicles in industrial environments“, aimed at the development and refinement of autonomous navigation algorithms suited the handling of intelligent vehicles in industrial environments.
